Roswell, NM

We have visited Roswell, NM each year that we've been on the road as we have been heading back toward the DFW area.

In 2015, after our first winter out, deciding if we wanted to go fulltime in the motorhome or not, we stopped in Roswell after visiting the Trinity Site on the first Saturday in April. We were in Roswell for Easter Sunday and visited with Nancy and Burton (http://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2015/04/christ-is-risen-christ-is-risen-indeed.html).

In March of 2016, we again were in Roswell, and able to join with First Baptist Church with their outreach in the community (http://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2016/03/friends-and-christian-family-members.html) and to be with Nancy and Burton again on Easter (http://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2016/03/he-is-risen-christ-is-risen-indeed.html).

And last year brought us back through Roswell - albeit fighting colds as we were traveling (http://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2017/03/roswell-means-we-or-at-least-i-get-to.html).

This year, we had not really planned to drive through Roswell on our way to Dallas - we were going to stay on I-10 through El Paso and then I-20 into the DFW area... but as we were discussing the route and timing, we realized that we really like the drive on US380 across the Llano Estacado (http://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2016/03/driving-across-western-texas.html) - and besides which, we really like seeing and visiting with Nancy and Burton!

The Walmart in Roswell definitely welcomes RVers, even with signs telling us where to park (though I have to admit, this sign did not really help us - when I talked to an associate while we were driving there, I asked where she would like for us to park, and she recommended the part of the lot near Chili's because it was not usually heavily used by their customer traffic). We were also able to get fuel at the Sam's Club next door.

And we were able to meet up with Burton and Nancy and got to enjoy delicious food at Pepper's in Roswell!
First Baptist is in the process of lots of renovation of their facilities. We were sorry to miss celebrating Easter with them, but we are excited to be with our own church family at MacArthur Boulevard on Sunday!!!
